Gov. Sarah Palin had her first encounter with world leaders today. She met with Afghan president Hamid Karzai,  and Columbian President Alvaro Uribe. Palin also spent more than an hour meeting with Henry Kissinger to discuss foreign policy regarding China, Russia, Georgia, and Iran.

On Wednsday, Palin and McCain will meet together with Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili and Ukrainian President Viktor Yuschenko. Then Palin will meet alone with Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

Now that’s what I call a crash course in foreign policy. It must be exausting to meet with so many leaders in such a short amount of time.
